That's a great find.These are good numbers compared to what the UFC was payin 3 years ago.In the old days they had guys vacating belts to go fight for money.Jens PulverB.J. PennMurilo BustamanteRandy Couture

always amazes me what these guys train and fight for. and so few of them have the natural ability to ever break into the big bucks, especially the smaller guys. i mean even if sherk fights 3-4 times a year hes gonna make a 100k, and hes the cream of the lw crop. just amazing. i wonder what the guys like faber get in endorsements? i bet not that much.

guess you have to really love it because from a financial perspective it makes little sense for most of these guys.

The reason those figures look so low is because those are only the numbers that they are forced to submit to the public. There are a substantial amount of bonuses and sponsorship dollars coming the fighters way. If they disclosed the exact amount then they would have to claim that exact amount for taxes, right. But wait a minute, thats not right, doesn't everybody declare the exact amount they made publicly and tell the truth when they do taxes. They wouldn't want to underpay their share of the taxes.

Dick Cheney would be proud of that statement. He just recently got a gift card from Haliburton to Wal-Mart for $500,000,000. Anyways, I think Faber deserves a lot more than he gets. He's only ranked liked #10 by that other article, and he is very undisputed. Although I highly doubt that the payment is as low as they make it out to be, otherwise Jens Pulver wouldn't be having a WEC debut, he would still be fighting UFC and/or PRIDE. I hope UFC makes a featherweight division, I want to see Kid Yamamoto and Urijah Faber square off, after Kid gets done wrestling for the olympics of course.

I think Curran should have been paid more...He is a top 10 FW, he has fought in PRIDE, UFC and IFL, He is 28-8-1 and has fought the best of the best, including "Kid" Yamamoto, Menjivar, Serra, Bennett, and Hioki.
